Ok so, I suppose I should just read the FAQ, but I need this information from the hores mouths.. A close friend, who lives on the west coast(I live on the east) wants me to go very badly. They will even be paying, which is huge, considering how much this party costs.

I have looked at photos, and read various articles-some in praise, most not; of this festival, but I have a few questions for you. Do they play ANY metal, or do metal people hang out there? Or is it just Ani Armpit and the Phat Bongo Beatz?

"relations" I do not plan on having relations with people there, as I am not single, a neo-hippie, rich, white, or a middle aged steampunk, but I noticed that sex is pretty prevalent there. I dunno about you, but after 24 hours with no shower, and having had a few trips to the bathroom(here it will be a filthy portajohn), my crotch is not the best place to be..Do people really bump nasties at this shindig? After the first day? Will I have to see it/smell it?

"art" I appreciate art. I saw online there is a small scale oil rig, some bendy trucks, and a giant hippie dancer sculpture. What other sort of exciting art should I look forward to? Do they trot those out every year, or is it updated?

and finally, self-defense. I consider it a personal affront if someone I don't know touches me. The last show I went to (Pentagram) there were several fights that broke out in the pit. I know there will most likely NOT be a pit at this show. I'm concerned about people saying sexual things to me, or touching me, and then getting their teeth knocked out.

Huh? Sounds like you should totally go check out Coachella! A lot more bands of all types, even Metal. And a lot less stinky porta potties and art!

Welcome to eplaya! Hopefully you can find all the information you are looking for!

Why don't ya stick your head in that hole and find out? ~pieholePlan for the worst, expect the best. Make the most out of it under any conditions. If you cannot do that you will never enjoy yourself. ~CrispyDave

Your just judge-mental RIGHT?

but I noticed that sex is pretty prevalent there.

Last I checked Nun camp was not on the list of camps... Although I could be totally wrong.

Smell it yes... Fucking hippies. See it... I hope so. You don't have to have sex. That's not what "rights of passage" and "fertility" means.

"art" I appreciate art. I saw online there is a small scale oil rig, some bendy trucks, and a giant hippie dancer sculpture. What other sort of exciting art should I look forward to? Do they trot those out every year, or is it updated?

This is the only question I can answer straight... Art changes every year some shows back up some gets burned and is only a memory. It's ok to be a tourists but it's awsome to be a participant.

and finally, self-defense. I consider it a personal affront if someone I don't know touches me.

Sounds like you need a Hug.

Oh yeah, how much beer can I bring in there?

First on the list to bring is Water then Bacon. Then a chinken costum with NO FUCKING FEATHERS. Then you bring me a gift I prefer coffee of course. Bicycle. Possibely food. Tent, googles, blinky lights. And the list goes on. And when the list is complete get your fucking beer and have a party. Don't forget my coffee asshat.

you don't sound like the kind of person who is going to enjoy or add to other people's enjoyment of this event. with so many other ways to spend your time you'd be doing yourself and everyone else a favor by sitting this out.
